(KLZA)-- For the first time in more than two years, the Falls City Police Department is fully staffed.
Police Chief Duane Armbruster announced in a news release that two officers graduated from the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center on February 19th following nearly 17 weeks of training.
Officer Zachary Ractliffe and Officer Millie King were hired last fall and had to successfully graduate from the Academy to become certified. Ractliffe graduated second out of more than 50 candidates. King is the first female to graduated from the Academy from the Falls City Police Department.
In addition to the new officers, Kathy Jordan, recently hired as a Falls City Police Department dispatcher also graduated from the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center Dispatch Program.
Chief Armbruster also announced that Marci Ankrom and Brandie Kratz have recently been added to the staff. Ankrom takes the place of retired dispatcher Ann Shafer.
Officer Jeremy Goldsberry has been transferred to the code enforcement position, approved by the City Council several months ago. The Falls City Police Department strongly encourages residents to work with the Police Department and Goldsberry to get the city cleaned up.
The Code Enforcement will include cleaning up of trash, debris and any other unsightly locations you are in control of. It also includes trimming trees, keeping grass under 12” in height and many other code infractions. Nuisance information can be found in the City Code Book, located at the Library or on the city web page.
With the new officers on duty, the Falls City Police Department has 9 officers including Police Chief Armbruster.
